The Calm Between Blows

Did wind up in the storm shelter Bill had installed a few years ago when the sirens went off last night, but fortunately no tornado touchdowns. This morning fairly calm - but by noon we were having gusts of 40mph. Strange weather! Caught Mr. Bluejay enjoying the peanut he's just taken from the tray.

Great capture. Glad there were no tornadoes swooping down on you. That would have to be sort of scary.

Glad all was well in the end. My friends were driving East on the I 40 when the sirens went off. Thankfully they out ran the storm front home safely to LR.
